				169	village
				170	life
				171	long
				172	before
				173	I
				174	made
				175	my
				176	home
				177	in
				178	the
				179	same
				180	county
				181	as
				182	my
				183	imaginary
				184	Starkfield
				185	;
				186	though
				187	,
				188	during
				189	the
				190	years
				191	spent
				192	there
				193	,
				194	certain
				195	of
				196	its

				198	became
				199	much
				200	more
				201	familiar
				202	to
				203	me
				204	.
				205	Even
				206	before
				207	that
				208	final
				209	initiation
				210	,
				211	however
				212	,
				213	I
				214	had
				215	had
				216	an
				217	uneasy
				218	sense
				219	that
				220	the
				221	New
				222	England
				223	of
				224	fiction
				225	bore
				226	little—except
				227	a
				228	vague
				229	botanical
				230	and
				231	dialectical—resemblance
				232	to
				233	the
				234	harsh
				235	and
				236	beautiful
				237	land
				238	as
				239	I
				240	had
				241	seen
				242	it
				243	.
				244	Even
				245	the
				246	abundant
				247	enumer-
				248	ation
				249	of
				250	sweet-fern
				251	,
				252	asters
				253	and
				254	mountain-laurel
				255	,
				256	and
				257	the
				258	conscientious
				259	reproduction
				260	of
				261	the
				262	vernacu-
				263	lar
				264	,
				265	left
				266	me
				267	with
				268	the
				269	feeling
				270	that
				271	the
				272	outcropping
				273	granite
				274	had
				275	in
				276	both
				277	cases
				278	been
				279	overlooked
				280	.
				281	I
				282	give
				283	the
				284	impression
				285	merely
				286	as
				287	a
				288	personal
				289	one
				290	;
				291	it
				292	accounts
				293	for
				294	Ethan
				295	Frome
				296	,
				297	and
				298	may
				299	,
				300	to
				301	some
				302	readers
				303	,
				304	in
				305	a
				306	measure
				307	justify
				308	it
				309	.
				310	So
				311	much
				312	for
				313	the
				314	origin
				315	of
				316	the
				317	story
				318	;
				319	there
				320	is
				321	noth-
				322	ing
				323	else
				324	of
				325	interest
				326	to
				327	say
				328	of
				329	it
				330	,
				331	except
				332	as
				333	concerns
				334	its
				335	construction
				336	.
				337	Il
				338	The
				339	problem
				340	before
				341	me
				342	,
				343	as
				344	I
				345	saw
				346	in
				347	the
				348	first
				349	flash
				350	,
				351	was
				352	this
				353	:
				354	I
				355	had
				356	to
				357	deal
				358	with
				359	a
				360	subject
				361	of
				362	which
				363	the
				364	dramatic
				365	climax
				366	,
				367	or
				368	rather
				369	the
				370	anti-climax
				371	,
				372	occurs
				373	@
				374	generation
				375	later
				376	than
				377	the
				378	first
				379	acts
				380	of
				381	the
				382	tragedy
				383	.
				384	This
				385	enforced
				386	lapse
				387	of
				388	time
				389	would
				390	seem
				391	to
				392	anyone
				393	persuaded—as
				394	I
				395	have
				396	always
				397	been—that
				398	every
				399	sub-
				400	ject
				401	(
				402	in
				403	the
				404	novelist
				405	’
				406	s
				407	sense
				408	of
				409	the
				410	term
				411	)
				412	implicitly
				413	contains
				414	its
				415	own
				416	form
				417	and
				418	dimensions
				419	,
				420	to
				421	mark
				422	“
				423	Ethan
				424	Frome
				425	”
				426	as
				427	the
				428	subject
				429	for
				430	a
				431	novel
				432	.
				433	But
				434	I
				435	never
				436	thought
				437	this
				438	for
				439	a
				440	moment
				441	,
				442	for
				443	I
				444	had
				445	felt
				446	,
				447	at
				448	the
				449	same
				450	time
				451	,
				452	that
				453	the
				454	theme
				455	of
				456	my
				457	tale
				458	was
				459	not
				460	one
				461	on
				462	which
				463	many
				464	variations
				465	could
				466	be
				467	played
				468	.
				469	It
				470	must
				471	be
				472	treated
				473	as
				474	starkly
				475	and
				476	summarily
				477	as
				478	life
				479	had
				480	always
				481	presented
				482	itself
				483	to
				484	my
				485	protagonists
				486	;
				487	any
				488	at-
				489	tempt
				490	to
				491	elaborate
				492	and
				493	complicate
				494	their
				495	sentiments
				496	would
				497	necessarily
				498	have
				499	falsified
				500	the
				501	whole
				502	.
				503	They
				504	were
				505	,
				506	in
				507	truth
				508	,
				509	these
				510	figures
				511	,
				512	my
				513	granite
				514	outcrop-
				515	pings
				516	;
				517	but
				518	balf-emerged
				519	from
				520	the
				521	soil
				522	,
				523	and
				524	scarcely
				525	more
				526	articulate
				527	.
				528	This
				529	incompatibility
				530	between
				531	subject
				532	and
				533	plan
				534	would
				535	perbaps
				536	have
				537	seemed
				538	to
				539	suggest
				540	that
				541	my
				542	“
				543	situation
				544	”
				545	was
				546	after
				547	all
				548	one
				549	to
				550	be
				551	rejected
				552	.
				553	Every
				554	novelist
				555	bas
				556	been
				557	visited
				558	by
				559	the
				560	insinuating
				561	wraiths
				562	of
				563	false
				564	“
				565	good
				566	situations
				567	,
				568	”
				569	siren-subjects
				570	luring
				571	his
				572	cockle-shell
				573	to
				574	the
				575	rocks
				576	;
				577	their
				578	voice
				579	is
				580	oftenest
				581	heard
				582	,
				583	ul
				584	and
				585	their
				586	mirage-sea
				587	bebeld
				588	,
				589	as
				590	he
				591	traverses
				592	the
				593	waterless
				594	desert
				595	which
				596	awaits
				597	him
				598	half-way
				599	through
				600	whatever
				601	work
				602	is
				603	actually
				604	in
				605	band
				606	.
				607	I
				608	knew
				609	well
				610	enough
				611	what
				612	song
				613	those
				614	sirens
				615	sang
				616	,
				617	and
				618	had
				619	often
				620	tied
				621	myself
				622	to
				623	my
				624	dull
				625	job
				626	till
				627	they
				628	were
				629	out
				630	of
				631	bear-
				632	ing—perbaps
				633	carrying
				634	a
				635	lost
				636	masterpiece
				637	in
				638	their
				639	rainbow
				640	veils
				641	.
				642	But
				643	I
				644	bad
				645	no
				646	such
				647	fear
				648	of
				649	them
				650	in
				651	the
				652	case
				653	of

				657	It
				658	was
				659	the
				660	first
				661	subject
				662	I
				663	had
				664	ever
				665	approached
				666	with
				667	full
				668	confidence
				669	in
				670	its
				671	value
				672	,
				673	for
				674	my
				675	own
				676	purpose
				677	,
				678	and
				679	a
				680	relative
				681	faith
				682	in
				683	my
				684	power
				685	to
				686	render
				687	at
				688	least
				689	a
				690	part
				691	of
				692	what
				693	I
				694	saw
				695	in
				696	it
				697	.
				698	Every
				699	novelist
				700	,
				701	again
				702	,
				703	who
				704	“
				705	intends
				706	upon
				707	’
				708	his
				709	art
				710	,
				711	bas
				712	lit
				713	upon
				714	such
				715	subjects
				716	,
				717	and
				718	been
				719	fascinated
				720	by
				721	the
				722	difficulty
				723	of
				724	presenting
				725	them
				726	in
				727	the
				728	fullest
				729	relief
				730	,
				731	yet
				732	without
				733	an
				734	added
				735	ornament
				736	,
				737	or
				738	a
				739	trick
				740	of
				741	drapery
				742	or
				743	lighting
				744	.
				745	This
				746	was
				747	my
				748	task
				749	,
				750	if
				751	I
				752	were
				753	to
				754	tell
				755	the
				756	story
				757	of
				758	Ethan
				759	Frome
				760	;
				761	and
				762	my
				763	scheme
				764	of
				765	construction—which
				766	met
				767	with
				768	the
				769	immediate
				770	and
				771	unqualified
				772	disapproval
				773	of
				774	the
				775	few
				776	friends
				777	to
				778	whom
				779	I
				780	tentatively
				781	outlined
				782	it—I
				783	still
				784	think
				785	justified
				786	in
				787	the
				788	given
				789	case
				790	.
				791	It
				792	appears
				793	to
				794	me
				795	,
				796	indeed
				797	,
				798	that
				799	,
				800	while
				801	an
				802	air
				803	of
				804	artificiality
				805	is
				806	lent
				807	to
				808	a
				809	tale
				810	of
				811	complex
				812	and
				813	sophisticated
				814	people
				815	which
				816	the
				817	novelist
				818	causes
				819	to
				820	be
				821	guessed
				822	at
				823	and
				824	interpreted
				825	by
				826	any
				827	mere
				828	looker-
				829	on
				830	,
				831	there
				832	need
				833	be
				834	no
				835	such
				836	drawback
				837	if
				838	the
				839	looker-on
				840	Iv
				841	is
				842	sophisticated
				843	,
				844	and
				845	the
				846	people
				847	he
				848	interprets
				849	are
				850	simple
				851	.
				852	If
				853	be
				854	is
				855	capable
				856	of
				857	seeing
				858	all
				859	around
				860	them
				861	,
				862	no
				863	violence
				864	is
				865	done
				866	to
				867	probability
				868	in
				869	allowing
				870	bim
				871	to
				872	exercise
				873	this
				874	faculty
				875	;
				876	it
				877	is
				878	natural
				879	enough
				880	that
				881	be
				882	should
				883	act
				884	as
				885	the
				886	sympathizing
				887	intermediary
				888	be-
				889	tween
				890	his
				891	rudimentary
				892	characters
				893	and
				894	the
				895	more
				896	complicated
				897	minds
				898	to
				899	whom
				900	he
				901	is
				902	trying
				903	to
				904	present
				905	them
				906	.
				907	But
				908	this
				909	is
				910	all
				911	self-evident
				912	,
				913	and
				914	needs
				915	explain-
				916	ing
				917	only
				918	to
				919	those
				920	who
				921	have
				922	never
				923	thought
				924	of
				925	fiction
				926	as
				927	an
				928	art
				929	of
				930	composition
				931	.
				932	The
				933	real
				934	merit
				935	of
				936	my
				937	construction
				938	seems
				939	to
				940	me
				941	to
				942	lie
				943	in
				944	a
				945	minor
				946	detail
				947	.
				948	I
				949	had
				950	to
				951	find
				952	means
				953	to
				954	bring
				955	my
				956	tragedy
				957	,
				958	in
				959	a
				960	way
				961	at
				962	once
				963	natural
				964	and
				965	picture-
				966	making
				967	,
				968	to
				969	the
				970	knowledge
				971	of
				972	its
				973	narrator
				974	.
				975	I
				976	might
				977	have
				978	sat
				979	him
				980	down
				981	before
				982	a
				983	village
				984	gossip
				985	who
				986	would
				987	have
				988	poured
				989	out
				990	the
				991	whole
				992	affair
				993	to
				994	him
				995	in
				996	a
				997	breath
				998	,
				999	but
				1000	in
				1001	doing
				1002	this
				1003	I
				1004	should
				1005	have
				1006	been
				1007	false
				1008	to
				1009	two
				1010	essential
				1011	elements
				1012	of
				1013	my
				1014	picture
				1015	:
				1016	first
				1017	,
				1018	the
				1019	deep-rooted
				1020	reticence
				1021	and
				1022	inarticulateness
				1023	of
				1024	the
				1025	people
				1026	I
				1027	was
				1028	trying
				1029	to
				1030	draw
				1031	,
				1032	and
				1033	secondly
				1034	the
				1035	effect
				1036	of
				1037	“
				1038	roundness
				1039	”
				1040	(
				1041	in
				1042	the
				1043	plastic
				1044	sense
				1045	)
				1046	produced
				1047	by
				1048	letting
				1049	their
				1050	case
				1051	be
				1052	seen
				1053	through
				1054	eyes
				1055	as
				1056	different
				1057	as
				1058	those
				1059	of
				1060	Harmon
				1061	Gow
				1062	and
				1063	Mrs.
				1064	Ned
				1065	Hale
				1066	.
				1067	Each
				1068	of
				1069	my
				1070	chroniclers
				1071	contributes
				1072	to
				1073	the
				1074	narrative
				1075	just
				1076	so
				1077	much
				1078	as
				1079	he
				1080	or
				1081	she
				1082	is
				1083	capable
				1084	of
				1085	understanding
				1086	v
				1087	of
				1088	what
				1089	,
				1090	to
				1091	them
				1092	,
				1093	is
				1094	a
				1095	complicated
				1096	and
				1097	mysterious
				1098	case
				1099	;
				1100	and
				1101	only
				1102	the
				1103	narrator
				1104	of
				1105	the
				1106	tale
				1107	has
				1108	scope
				1109	enough
				1110	to
				1111	see
				1112	it
				1113	all
				1114	,
				1115	to
				1116	resolve
				1117	it
				1118	back
				1119	into
				1120	sim
				1121	,
				1122	iplicity
				1123	,
				1124	and
				1125	to
				1126	put
				1127	it
				1128	in
				1129	its
				1130	rightful
				1131	place
				1132	among
				1133	his
				1134	larger
				1135	categories
				1136	.
				1137	I
				1138	make
				1139	no
				1140	claim
				1141	for
				1142	originality
				1143	in
				1144	following
				1145	a
				1146	method
				1147	of
				1148	which
				1149	“

				1154	and

				1158	and

				1161	”
				1162	had
				1163	set
				1164	me
				1165	the
				1166	magnificent
				1167	example
				1168	;
				1169	my
				1170	one
				1171	merit
				1172	is
				1173	,
				1174	perhaps
				1175	,
				1176	to
				1177	have
				1178	guessed
				1179	that
				1180	the
				1181	proceeding

				1184	was
				1185	also

				1188	to
				1189	my
				1190	small
				1191	tale
				1192	.
				1193	I
				1194	have
				1195	written
				1196	this
				1197	brief
				1198	analysis—the
				1199	first
				1200	I
				1201	have
				1202	ever
				1203	published
				1204	of
				1205	any
				1206	of
				1207	my
				1208	books—because
				1209	,
				1210	as
				1211	an
				1212	author
				1213	's
				1214	introduction
				1215	to
				1216	bis
				1217	work
				1218	,
				1219	I
				1220	can
				1221	imagine
				1222	nothing
				1223	of
				1224	any
				1225	value
				1226	to
				1227	his
				1228	readers
				1229	except

				1231	state-
				1232	ment
				1233	as
				1234	to
				1235	why
				1236	he
				1237	decided
				1238	to

				1240	the
				1241	work
				1242	in

				1244	,

				171	long

				274	had
				275	in
				276	both

				278	been

				286	as

				348	first
				349	flash
				350	,
				351	was
				352	this
				353	:
				354	I
				355	had
				356	to
				357	deal
				358	with
				359	a
				360	subject
				361	of
				362	which
				363	the
				364	dramatic
				365	climax
				366	,
				367	or
				368	rather
				369	the
				370	anti-climax
				371	,
				372	occurs
				373	@
				374	generation
				375	later
				376	than
				377	the
				378	first
				379	acts
				380	of
				381	the
				382	tragedy
				383	.
				384	This
				385	enforced
				386	lapse
				387	of
				388	time
				389	would
				390	seem
				391	to
				392	anyone
				393	persuaded—as
				394	I
				395	have
				396	always
				397	been—that
				398	every
				399	sub-
				400	ject
				401	(
				402	in
				403	the
				404	novelist
				405	’
				406	s
				407	sense
				408	of
				409	the
				410	term
				411	)
				412	implicitly
				413	contains
				414	its
				415	own
				416	form
				417	and
				418	dimensions
				419	,
				420	to
				421	mark
				422	“
				423	Ethan
				424	Frome
				425	”
				426	as
				427	the
				428	subject
				429	for
				430	a
				431	novel
				432	.
				433	But
				434	I
				435	never
				436	thought
				437	this
				438	for
				439	a
				440	moment
				441	,
				442	for
				443	I
				444	had
				445	felt
				446	,
				447	at
				448	the
				449	same
				450	time
				451	,
				452	that
				453	the
				454	theme
				455	of
				456	my
				457	tale
				458	was
				459	not
				460	one
				461	on
				462	which
				463	many
				464	variations
				465	could
				466	be
				467	played
				468	.
				469	It
				470	must
				471	be
				472	treated
				473	as
				474	starkly
				475	and
				476	summarily
				477	as
				478	life
				479	had
				480	always
				481	presented
				482	itself
				483	to
				484	my
				485	protagonists
				486	;
				487	any
				488	at-
				489	tempt
				490	to
				491	elaborate
				492	and
				493	complicate
				494	their
				495	sentiments
				496	would
				497	necessarily
				498	have
				499	falsified
				500	the
				501	whole
				502	.
				503	They
				504	were
				505	,
				506	in
				507	truth
				508	,
				509	these
				510	figures
				511	,
				512	my
				513	granite
				514	outcrop-
				515	pings
				516	;
				517	but
				518	balf-emerged
				519	from
				520	the
				521	soil
				522	,
				523	and
				524	scarcely
				525	more
				526	articulate
				527	.
				528	This
				529	incompatibility
				530	between
				531	subject
				532	and
				533	plan
				534	would
				535	perbaps
				536	have
				537	seemed
				538	to
				539	suggest
				540	that
				541	my
				542	“
				543	situation
				544	”
				545	was
				546	after
				547	all
				548	one
				549	to
				550	be
				551	rejected
				552	.
				553	Every
				554	novelist
				555	bas
				556	been
				557	visited
				558	by
				559	the
				560	insinuating
				561	wraiths
				562	of
				563	false
				564	“
				565	good
				566	situations
				567	,
				568	”
				569	siren-subjects
				570	luring
				571	his
				572	cockle-shell
				573	to
				574	the
				575	rocks
				576	;
				577	their
				578	voice
				579	is
				580	oftenest
				581	heard
				582	,
				583	ul
				584	and
				585	their
				586	mirage-sea
				587	bebeld
				588	,
				589	as
				590	he
				591	traverses
				592	the
				593	waterless
				594	desert
				595	which
				596	awaits
				597	him
				598	half-way
				599	through
				600	whatever
				601	work
				602	is
				603	actually
				604	in
				605	band
				606	.
				607	I
				608	knew
				609	well
				610	enough
				611	what
				612	song
				613	those
				614	sirens
				615	sang
				616	,
				617	and
				618	had
				619	often
				620	tied
				621	myself
				622	to
				623	my
				624	dull
				625	job
				626	till
				627	they
				628	were
				629	out
				630	of
				631	bear-
				632	ing—perbaps
				633	carrying
				634	a
				635	lost
				636	masterpiece
				637	in
				638	their
				639	rainbow
				640	veils
				641	.
				642	But
				643	I
				644	bad
				645	no
				646	such
				647	fear
				648	of
				649	them
				650	in
				651	the
				652	case
				653	of
				654	Ethan
				655	Frome
				656	.
				657	It
				658	was
				659	the
				660	first
				661	subject
				662	I
				663	had
				664	ever
				665	approached
				666	with
				667	full
				668	confidence
				669	in
				670	its
				671	value
				672	,
				673	for
				674	my
				675	own
				676	purpose
				677	,
				678	and
				679	a
				680	relative
				681	faith
				682	in
				683	my
				684	power
				685	to
				686	render
				687	at
				688	least
				689	a
				690	part
				691	of
				692	what
				693	I
				694	saw
				695	in
				696	it
				697	.
				698	Every
				699	novelist
				700	,
				701	again
				702	,
				703	who
				704	“
				705	intends
				706	upon
				707	’
				708	his
				709	art
				710	,
				711	bas
				712	lit
				713	upon
				714	such
				715	subjects
				716	,
				717	and
				718	been
				719	fascinated
				720	by
				721	the
				722	difficulty
				723	of
				724	presenting
				725	them
				726	in
				727	the
				728	fullest
				729	relief
				730	,
				731	yet
				732	without
				733	an
				734	added
				735	ornament
				736	,
				737	or
				738	a
				739	trick
				740	of
				741	drapery
				742	or
				743	lighting
				744	.
				745	This
				746	was
				747	my
				748	task
				749	,
				750	if
				751	I
				752	were
				753	to
				754	tell
				755	the
				756	story
				757	of
				758	Ethan
				759	Frome
				760	;
				761	and
				762	my
				763	scheme
				764	of
				765	construction—which
				766	met
				767	with
				768	the
				769	immediate
				770	and
				771	unqualified
				772	disapproval
				773	of
				774	the
				775	few
				776	friends
				777	to
				778	whom
				779	I
				780	tentatively
				781	outlined
				782	it—I
				783	still
				784	think
				785	justified
				786	in
				787	the
				788	given
				789	case
				790	.
				791	It
				792	appears
				793	to
				794	me
				795	,
				796	indeed
				797	,
				798	that
				799	,
				800	while
				801	an
				802	air
				803	of
				804	artificiality
				805	is
				806	lent
				807	to
				808	a
				809	tale
				810	of
				811	complex
				812	and
				813	sophisticated
				814	people
				815	which
				816	the
				817	novelist
				818	causes
				819	to
				820	be
				821	guessed
				822	at
				823	and
				824	interpreted
				825	by
				826	any
				827	mere
				828	looker-
				829	on
				830	,
				831	there
				832	need
				833	be
				834	no
				835	such
				836	drawback
				837	if
				838	the
				839	looker-on
				840	Iv
				841	is
				842	sophisticated
				843	,
				844	and
				845	the
				846	people
				847	he
				848	interprets
				849	are
				850	simple
				851	.
				852	If
				853	be
				854	is
				855	capable
				856	of
				857	seeing
				858	all
				859	around
				860	them
				861	,
				862	no
				863	violence
				864	is
				865	done
				866	to
				867	probability
				868	in
				869	allowing
				870	bim
				871	to
				872	exercise
				873	this
				874	faculty
				875	;
				876	it
				877	is
				878	natural
				879	enough
				880	that
				881	be
				882	should
				883	act
				884	as
				885	the
				886	sympathizing
				887	intermediary
				888	be-
				889	tween
				890	his
				891	rudimentary
				892	characters
				893	and
				894	the
				895	more
				896	complicated
				897	minds
				898	to
				899	whom
				900	he
				901	is
				902	trying
				903	to
				904	present
				905	them
				906	.
				907	But
				908	this
				909	is
				910	all
				911	self-evident
				912	,
				913	and
				914	needs
				915	explain-
				916	ing
				917	only
				918	to
				919	those
				920	who
				921	have
				922	never
				923	thought
				924	of
				925	fiction
				926	as
				927	an
				928	art
				929	of
				930	composition
				931	.
				932	The
				933	real
				934	merit
				935	of
				936	my
				937	construction
				938	seems
				939	to
				940	me
				941	to
				942	lie
				943	in
				944	a
				945	minor
				946	detail
				947	.
				948	I
				949	had
				950	to
				951	find
				952	means
				953	to
				954	bring
				955	my
				956	tragedy
				957	,
				958	in
				959	a
				960	way
				961	at
				962	once
				963	natural
				964	and
				965	picture-
				966	making
				967	,
				968	to
				969	the
				970	knowledge
				971	of
				972	its
				973	narrator
				974	.
				975	I
				976	might
				977	have
				978	sat
				979	him
				980	down
				981	before
				982	a
				983	village
				984	gossip
				985	who
				986	would
				987	have
				988	poured
				989	out
				990	the
				991	whole
				992	affair
				993	to
				994	him
				995	in
				996	a
				997	breath
				998	,
				999	but
				1000	in
				1001	doing
				1002	this
				1003	I
				1004	should
				1005	have
				1006	been
				1007	false
				1008	to
				1009	two
				1010	essential
				1011	elements
				1012	of
				1013	my
				1014	picture
				1015	:
				1016	first
				1017	,
				1018	the
				1019	deep-rooted
				1020	reticence
				1021	and
				1022	inarticulateness
				1023	of
				1024	the
				1025	people
				1026	I
				1027	was
				1028	trying
				1029	to
				1030	draw
				1031	,
				1032	and
				1033	secondly
				1034	the
				1035	effect
				1036	of
				1037	“
				1038	roundness
				1039	”
				1040	(
				1041	in
				1042	the
				1043	plastic
				1044	sense
				1045	)
				1046	produced
				1047	by
				1048	letting
				1049	their
				1050	case
				1051	be
				1052	seen
				1053	through
				1054	eyes
				1055	as
				1056	different
				1057	as
				1058	those
				1059	of
				1060	Harmon
				1061	Gow
				1062	and
				1063	Mrs.
				1064	Ned
				1065	Hale
				1066	.
				1067	Each
				1068	of
				1069	my
				1070	chroniclers
				1071	contributes
				1072	to
				1073	the
				1074	narrative
				1075	just
				1076	so
				1077	much
				1078	as
				1079	he
				1080	or
				1081	she
				1082	is
				1083	capable
				1084	of
				1085	understanding
				1086	v
				1087	of
				1088	what
				1089	,
				1090	to
				1091	them
				1092	,
				1093	is
				1094	a
				1095	complicated
				1096	and
				1097	mysterious
				1098	case
				1099	;
				1100	and
				1101	only
				1102	the
				1103	narrator
				1104	of
				1105	the
				1106	tale
				1107	has
				1108	scope
				1109	enough
				1110	to
				1111	see
				1112	it
				1113	all
				1114	,
				1115	to
				1116	resolve
				1117	it
				1118	back
				1119	into
				1120	sim
				1121	,
				1122	iplicity
				1123	,
				1124	and
				1125	to
				1126	put
				1127	it
				1128	in
				1129	its
				1130	rightful
				1131	place
				1132	among
				1133	his
				1134	larger
				1135	categories
				1136	.
				1137	I
				1138	make
				1139	no
				1140	claim
				1141	for
				1142	originality
				1143	in
				1144	following
				1145	a
				1146	method
				1147	of
				1148	which
				1149	“

				1154	and

				1156	The
				1157	Ring
				1158	and
				1159	the
				1160	Book
				1161	”
				1162	had
				1163	set
				1164	me
				1165	the
				1166	magnificent
				1167	example
				1168	;
				1169	my
				1170	one
				1171	merit
				1172	is
				1173	,
				1174	perhaps
				1175	,
				1176	to
				1177	have
				1178	guessed
				1179	that
				1180	the

				1184	was
				1185	also

				1188	to
				1189	my
				1190	small
				1191	tale
				1192	.
				1193	I
				1194	have
				1195	written
				1196	this
				1197	brief
				1198	analysis—the
				1199	first
				1200	I
				1201	have
				1202	ever
				1203	published
				1204	of
				1205	any
				1206	of
				1207	my

				1210	as
				1211	an

				1213	's
